The movement for an extra SEES
sion of congress in October seems to
be growing. A large number of the
leading senators aud representatives
of both parties have openly express
ed it as their opinion that en- extra
sessiea will be necessary. Senators
Sherman, Allison, Beck, and Voor
hees and representative Carlisle,
Payson, and others, are decidedly Of
the opinion the speedy assembling
of congress is imperative to take
steps toward stopping the drain
upon the people IN the way of taxa
tion and the piling up of money ia
the federal treasury. The incoming
congress is not one composed OF men
likely to be more united on any
particular plan for revenue reduction
than was the Forty Ninth, but it is
generally believed that the urgent
necessity OF doing something, and
that, too, at once, may possibly bring
the discordant elements into some
thing like harmony, and that rev
enue reform measure that shall light
en- the burdens where they rest the
heaviest, and stop the useless and
senseless piling up of money in the
treasury, will be assured.

4 Dastardlv Attempt at Assassi.
nation

GAINESVILLE Herald:
We are called upon to chronicle
the first attempt at assassination
that has occurred in Clarksville
since our residence here. On last
Saturday night about IL O'Clock, as
Mr.. Ebert Hawkins was returning
from a call at the residence OF Mr..
John Jamison, man was laying in
wait ut the corner of an alley, and as
Mr.. Hawkins passed the assassin
stepped out Of the alley and fired at
him, from behind. the ball going
through his clothes and making a
small flesh wound In his right side.
1t was very dark and Mr.. Hawkins
scould not see the features OF the
would be murderer. From what is
known among our citizens, it seems
to be the general impression that
robbery was not the object of the
assassin. Let the object have been
what it may, it was the act of de
mon who had murder in his heart,
and if our citizens find positive
proof as to the perpetrator of this
outrage, he will never again have a
chance to waylay, with murderous
intent, another gentleman.
tits unnecessary for us to assure
the good people Of Morrilton that the
outrage perpetrated on Mr. Hawkins
is regretted and bitterly condemned
by our citizens.
